Devil’s Tower

Devil's Tower Watercolour and ink on watercolour paper.  Image needs updating as now mounted and framed in black.  Measures 28.5cm x 36cm framed.  Been completely obsessed with this ever since I first saw Close Encounters of the Third Kind.  Unlike Roy, I have not built one in my lounge.  If I ever go to America, this is my first stop.           £60

London 2000

London 2000 Acrylic on canvas board; image requires updating as now framed.  Mounted on white board with white frame, measures 29cm x 34.5cm framed.  One of my fuchsias; lucky I painted it, as it died once I transferred it to my front garden.  Apparently, it can grow to a reasonable size with an abundance of flowers.         £55

Italian Vista

Italian Vista Oil on canvas.  Early attempt with oils.  We wanted a big painting which captured our holiday in the Cilento region so I put together a montage of photos we'd taken to create one complete scene.  It was either this or a three-foot montage of ice creams.  Not for sale.

Study 3

Study 3 Acrylic on canvas board; 34cm x 39.5cm, framed.  Hmm, no idea what fuchsia this is; obviously kicking myself for not also photographing the exhibit card at the same time I photographed the actual plant.  Have therefore avoided embarrassing ignorance by giving this an ambiguous title (it was actually the third fuchsia painting I had done but am also quite happy to call this 'Study in Red and Purple' if that sounds less pretentious).  Still, a gorgeous fuchsia and a pleasure to paint.  ...

Study in Blue

Study in Blue Acrylic on block canvas; 14.5cm x 14.5cm, 3.5cm deep.  Anyone know what fuchsia this is?  Could be a Lillian Annetts but not entirely sure.  To the untrained eye, many fuchsias look the same but as there are over 10,000 varieties of fuchsia, identifying a flower I once saw in a show is like trying to find a specific needle in a massive stack of needles.  £35

Emily Eve

Emily Eve Acrylic on canvas frame; 20.5cm x 29cm.  The image doesn't do justice to the painting and the painting doesn't truly do justice to the flower.  A gorgeous fuchsia making me feel privileged to know the grower and an absolute joy to paint.                 £65
